Here we are again, Robins, getting ready for our next Round Robin Photo Challenge! This one comes to us from Tammie Jean, of the blog Long Drives To Nowhere. The topic for Saturday, March 8th, 2008 is

This challenge is now closed. Thank you for playing! :)

"A Nice Place to Sit"

As February turns into March, those of us who live in northern climes are probably getting mighty sick of winter. It's a great time to curl up in a chair with a good book, with or without a roaring fire nearby. Or perhaps we think longingly of sitting on that park bench or Adirondack chair we photographed last summer, watching the birds and the butterflies. Those of us who live in a hotter climate may actually like to sit outside in the late winter and early spring, before the return of the 100+ degree days. Wherever we live, at whatever time of year, we have our own little sanctuaries, a nice place to sit and think, or read, or write, or even take pictures.

So, what's your favorite place to sit? Alternatively, is there some place you'd like to sit but haven't had the opportunity? Seek it out, photograph it, and get ready to post the pictures on Saturday, March 8th. As always, you can post up to six days later if necessary, but please do not post early. And, of course, you'll need to RSVP. Please, please, please, please, PLEASE leave your RSVP comment in the following format:

Yes, I'll play!

Even if the title of the blog is the same as your blog's address, please list both, along with your name. Sometimes they don't match up, and people change blog names and/or addresses more often than you think. Don't make us research, retype, or guess at the right blog name or address! Just list it all for us each time, okay? Thanks!

Hello Robins :)This challenge is now closed. Thank you for playing! :)

Are you ready for a new challenge? Well, our next challenge should be one that all of us can relate to, how does the idea of "SHOES" grab ya? We all wear SHOES, right? Some wear loafers, or wedges, while others wear slides or skimmers. Some are fans of sand shoes and sandals, while others will not be without their High-Heeled-High-Tops! Some make us feel tall, while others slim our ankles. Some are only for work, like the steel-toed boot. But like I said, "we all wear SHOES." So Robins, grab your camera, and your SHOES, and show off what it's like to walk in your SHOES.

The challenge date will be Saturday, February 23rd, and was suggested by Vicki, author of the blog, "Maraca." As always, before the fun begins, I need to remind you of a few important details...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY EARLY!

It's not fair to the Robin who picks the challenge. If you can't make it on the day of the challenge, just drop us an email, or tell us when you leave your intention to play, and we will make a note next to your name on the Linking List, which is posted the day of the challenge.

2. ALL PHOTOS MUST BE YOUR ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHY

No fair borrowing photos from a friend or from a postcard. It's ok once in a while to show off a friend's photography, along with your own, as long as you have their permission, but we really want to see your creativity. Besides, why not encourage them to join the Robins and do their own entry? We love it when new folks join in the fun!

3. Please use your own words to describe the challenge.

DO NOT LIFT from the Round Robin Blog. Again, we really want to see your photography, and read your words. You are welcome to use the LINKING LIST, or the ROUND ROBIN GRAPHICS, but the description of the challenge should come from you.

4. PLEASE R.S.V.P. in the following manner, even if you have played before...

YOUR FIRST NAMEYOUR BLOG NAMETHE FULL ADDRESS OF YOUR BLOG OR JOURNAL

EXAMPLE

Robins, you MUST R.S.V.P in this manner. I have been letting some folks slide, which really isn't fair to those who make the effort challenge after challenge. It is a tremendous help to us when you observe, and then follow the rules. Starting with this challenge, if you don't leave your FULL information, for each challenge you play, I won't add you to the Linking List. Your link will stay in the comments section, but I really need to encourage you to set an example for future players by following the rules. Fair enough? :)

Ok, that's it for now. If you are new to the challenges, you might want to read the **Welcome Entry & Rules Of Play** which can be found on the sidebar, and if you have any questions, you can email either Karen or myself and we will get right back to you. Steven is on a brief hiatus and will be joining us again soon. You can find our email addresses on the sidebar. Now, GO BE PHOTOGRAPHERS, and comeback here on Saturday, February 23rd, 2008, ready to show your Shoes. :)
